CNN's Sanjay Gupta gets told it's an apple but keeps reporting it's a banana

CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta is continuing to argue on air that despite what Donald Trump’s doctor said yesterday, the president isn’t healthy:

Sanjay Gupta says on CNN that the numbers reveal that POTUS has heart disease.

CNN even sent this out as a “NEWS ALERT”:

Armchair psychology has been replaced by armchair cardiology:

This is even more irresponsible than psychiatrists speculating that Trump has dementia. https://t.co/8IZOGb4ezs

Yesterday: Everyone should respect the White House doctor, he took great care of the Obama administration.

Today: The White House doctor is hiding something, Trump is actually about to die. https://t.co/7egjPSoKxq

Sanjay Gupta should not be diagnosing people whom he hasn't personally examined https://t.co/daRlW4XJVD

Now, technically Dr. Gupta is correct:

But this doesn’t mean Trump is unhealthy:

By the same token, Gupta's statement that Trump has heart disease is definitionally correct. But that doesn't answer whether Trump is in truly serious danger of heart attack, which he appears not to be, according to Jackson.

Gupta tried to get Dr. Jackson to say this at the briefing yesterday, but Dr. Jackson refused:

And Gupta’s armchair diagnosis is being played up by the Left as some new conspiracy theory:
